Hardway, The (Free At Last Extended Play Remixes) Songtext
von dc Talk

(1)
Now I′ve been high and I've been low / I′ve been some places that you will not go / I never thought it would come the day / that I wish I never would've live this way //

(B-verse)
Now I've been searching for a long, long time / I thought the devil was a friend of mine / I turned my back on everything that was true / and wasted years that belonged to you //

some people gotta learn the hard way / I guess I′m the kinda guy who has to find out for myself / I had to learn the hard way, Father / I′m on my knees and I'm crying... for help (for help, for help) //

(2)
It took so long for me to see / That I′m a victim with all the nature in me / And to myself, I realize / that I'm the maker of my own demise //


(B-verse 2)
But you accepted every time that I gave / And never mentioned just how selfish I′ve been / It must have always took me so long to see / That I have fallen, but you will forgive me //

(Repeat)
(Background music)

(Breakdown)
For your help...(ohhhhhhhhhh) / I need your help //

(Repeat)
The warning signs are like flares in the night /Still I proceed that my greed is in spite / So far I know what's bound to burn / Why is it that I always gotta learn... the hard way

the hard way (the hard way) / the hard way (the hard way) / I had to learn the hard way / the hard way (the hard way) / the hard way (the hard way) / I had to learn the hard way
